so Android is mostly developed by google so I assume it also sends a lot of data over to google. Is there an OS that's privacy respecting?

It sucks, but it is the only phone that supports unlocking and relocking if the boot loader which gives ability to protect OS from tampering.

I hate google, but needed to be free from spying asap. You could buy second hand and avoid giving them a penny.
